Our Biomaker Challenge: Improving homebrewing with the help of arduinos and XOD

15 January 2019

We are a small, merry band of newbie Biomakers and amateur homebrewers and have started a project to monitor the progression of our fine brews in real time. By day we are two research scientists and a Biology teacher. We are looking to develop a piece of kit which allows us to see how quickly our homebrew is turned from a mixture of sugars in the initial malty extract into alcohol in beer. As sugars are converted to alcohol by the yeast, the density, or Specific Gravity (SG), of the liquid decreases and this is traditionally monitored by the means of a hydrometer. The SG decreases over time until it reaches a final plateau, at which point all of the sugars have been turned into alcohol. We are interested in monitoring how quickly this happens and how we can monitor it in real time.

Biomaker Training PLUS: Robotics Follow-on

Monday, 3 September, 2018 - 18:00 to 20:00

During the Biomaker Challenge, we will be hosting four training events where teams can get together to learn new skills, troubleshoot and get advice from other participants. Though the training events are based around Biomaker projects, all are welcome to join. In this extra session, we'll follow-up on our last training event with robots and actuators.
